P HP&L VISION

If a pilot is lower than normal on final approach. The distance between the visual aiming point and the touch
down point.....and the aircraft will touch down.....the threshold.

Increases; after.
Decreases; after.
Increases; before.

Theory Medium C

When on normal approach, a narrow runway will give the impression of being:

higher than normal on the descent;

lower than normal on the descent glide slope;
on the normal glide slope.

Application Low A

A visual approach on an upsloping runway will tend to result in the actual approach :

Too steep;
too shallow;
too steep until ± 200 metres from the threshold.

Application Low B

When approaching an upsloping runway the actual approach may be:

Too high;
Too low;
Too fast.

Application Low AA runway which is wider than usual will appear on landing to be:

further away than reality;

closer than reality;
at the normal distance.

Application Low B

The most effective lookout technique is to:

Stare straight ahead;

Move the head from side to side;
Use a regular, practised, scanning pattern.

Application Low C

The reason for actively scanning is to avoid:

The eyes focussing on a point 2-5 metres ahead;

The body suffering from vertigo;
The eyes becoming weaker with time.

Theory Low A

Smoking or alcohol in the blood:

Has no effect on night vision;

Decreases night vision;
Increases night vision.

Theory Low B

An aircraft on a collision course with you is MOST likely to:

Remain stationary on your wind screen and above the horizon;

Move across your aircraft windscreen and below the horizon;
Remain stationary on your wind screen and below the horizon.

Theory Medium A

A pilots reaction when approaching an upsloping runway would be a:

Higher approach;
Lower approach;
A slower approach.

Application Low B

The use of eye drops:

Can have systemic (negative) side effects;

Can have no systemic (negative) side effects;
Is recommenced for aircrew operating in very cold and dry climates.

Theory Medium A

The components of the eye used to see visual traffic at night are:

The rods
The cones
One eye only

Application Medium A

The eye focuses naturally in an empty sky at a distance of:

1-2 metres
20 metres
infinity

Theory Low a

When scanning for other aircraft, the eye movements should be:

Steady
Jerky
brief and with pauses

Application Low C

When a pilot is disorientated he should rely on his:

sense of balance (from the inner ear);

muscles, and proprioceptors (position sensors in the muscles and tendons);
eyes.

Theory Medium C

Therapy for a passenger suffering from motion sickness is to:

Close his/her eyes;
Lower seat and head rest;
Both of the other answers.

Application Low C

If you experience vertigo in a restricted visibility condition (dust, smoke or snow showers), the best way to
overcome the effects is to:

concentrate on any yaw, pitch and roll sensations.

slow your breathing rate until symptoms clear and then resume normal breathing rate.
rely upon the aircraft instrument indications.

Theory Medium C

The Eustachian tube allows:

Equalisation of pressure between the middle ear and throat;

Breathing through the mouth;
The transmission of sound waves to the inner ear.

Theory Medium A

Presbycusis causes the loss of:

High tones
Low tones
High and low tones equally

Theory High A

When the aircraft is decelerated in straight and level flight, a pilot will percieve this as:

A climb
A descent
An acceleration

Theory Medium B

Pilots used to landing on small/narrow runways approaching a larger/wider runway can lead to:

A late or low round out

An illusion that the aircraft is too high
An early or high round out

Application Medium C

When viewed through mist/fog the distance from the aircraft to visible objects tends to be:

Overestimated
Underestimated
Correctly estimated

Application Medium A

A steady red light and flashing red light are seen in front and at the same altitude. The general direction of
the other aircraft is that it is:

Crossing to the left

Crossing to the right
Flying away from you

Application High A

A steady white light and flashing red light are seen in front and at the same altitude. the general direction of
the other aircraft is that it is:

Crossing to the left

Crossing to the right
Flying away from you

Theory High C
